1 Assignment 2 Drama Assignment Do our Differences Define Us? 1.Do our differences define us? Write a paragraph in which you answer this question and provide at least 3 reasons to support your opinion. (20points)The difference that we can see don’t define us. You can say something like my teacher is white and I’m black but that doesn’t define who we are. What defines us is what is insides of us. So ROMEO and JULIET, they are defined by the family they belong to but what family we belong to doesn’t define us. JULIET is a CAPULET. She says “what’s in a name? that which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” ROMEO is a Montague.REASONS: 1. What is on the inside does not define us. Just because we look difference we still

Even though we might be different colors we might still like the same music, worship the same God and like the same food. 2. Galatians 3:28 says, there is neither Jew nor gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male or female, for you are all one in JESUS CHRIST. 3. We should not let our differences define us because wecan help each other in the future. Our family, race, gender and religion should not matter because we all the same on the inside.2. Provide at least two quotes from the play Romeo and Juliet to show that the characters’ differences did or did not define them.

P839Romeo is just who he ison the inside no who his family name says heis.Juliet#1 “be but sworn my love, And I’ll no longer be a Capulet.”Juliet also says that her identity as a Capulet does not define her but rather her love for Romeo defines her.#2 “tis but thy name that is my enemy, Thou art thyself, though not aMontague.” P839Juliet is saying that a name doesnot make the person who they are. If Romeo were named Daudi he would still be who he is on the inside. A family name does not define who you are on the inside.#1 I talk of dreams which are the children of an idle brain.Be got of nothing but vain fantasy;Mercutio#2 That dreams often brainYou can have a finish but you can’t always be true.#1 “Uncle, this is a Montague, our foe, A villain, that is hither come in spite.” P826Tybalt does not care who this person is. He does not really know who they are. He only knows that they are a Montague and so he wants to kill them.Tybalt#2 “Tis he, that villain Romeo.” P827Again Tybalt is defining himself by who his family is. He hates Romeo
